Dodgers And Giants Keep Up Fast Pace (New York, .May 15—(UP)—The happiest guy in town today was Ageless Mel Ott, the little giant who has high hopes at last of reWarding his loyal legion of fans with a National league pennant. Ijlis team, with 17 victories in 22 starts, !e off to the 'best getaway for the league since Cincinnati won the pennant in 1940 and there are no Indications of a crack-up. There are plenty of factors to account for Ute upsurge, hut the biggest a terrorizing display of home run and extra base power. That was the case yesterday when the Giants won their ninth game in the last 10, heating the well regarded Chicago Culbs, 6 to 5, on two hqmers thy Nap ißeyea which accented for (four of the rune. The game went into extra inning.? and Phil Weintraub had to break it up with a single in the 10th which scored Ray 'Treadway from second. Bill Voilla, who won his fifth game on Saturday, came back in a relief stint to gain credit for his sixth win without a defeat, putting him on top in both leagues, 'When it isn’t Reyes, it’s one of the other long-range artists who is l|Kely to deliver the winning punch with a homer. To date, the Giants, led 'by Ott himself with six, have 10l 26 homers compared with 55 hit by all other league teams combined. They’re far ahead of the 1944 timetalble when they had only 10 homers at this time and didn't get their 26th until June 4. 'The second place Dodgers kept on winning at Brooklyn, making it nine straight iby defeating the pirates, 4 to 1, in (Leißoy Pfund's major league starting dubut. A triple, a double and a single by Fred (Dixie) Walker provided the backbone of the (batting punch. The dodgers got only six hits in all off El ('Preacher) (Roe.

O O New York, May 15. (UP) Elvin "Buster" Adams always will remember V-E day. It was- on May 8, 1915, that he was “liberated" from the Phillies. Adams, husky and handsome outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals, says, “I got home from a movie in Philadelphia that night, when the phone rings. Manager Fitzsimmons of the Phillies is on the phone. He tells me I have been shifted to the St. Louis club in a deal. 1 am io report to the Cards immediately. “I’m kinda stunned when I hang up tile phone — knocked groggy with sudden and completely unexpected happiness. I give the phone a friendly pat. Then I yell ‘whoopee’, and go . dancing around the room. I really left liberated.” Buster of the curly, dark-brown hair, who packs 190 pounds of brawn on a six-foot frame, talked about his transfer during a chat at the Hotel New Yorker. This was shortly before the Cards left, for Boston, where they open a series todKy with the Braves. The larruper from San Diego, Calif., emphasized that lie had no wish to belittle the Phillies, who had treated him tine during nearly two seasons with them. “But,” he said, “a ball player just naturally gets a terriffic kick when he jumps from a last-place club to the world champions.” The man in the smoky-blue suit added with a wry smile, “You get just as much of a lift when you bounce from the Phillies to the Cards, as you get sunk when you make the trip in reverse. I know. You will remember that I played part of the 1943 season with the Cards, and then was sent to the Phillies on June 1. Sure — these ups and downs are all part of baseball; but it’s hard for outsiders to understand just how much happiness or sadness they bring to the player.” Adams had been with the St. Louis chain for some time when traded to the Phillies in '43. St. Louis sent him and outfielders Coaker Triplett and Dain Clay to the City of Brotherly Love for outfielders Danny Litwhiler and Earl Naylor. But now, manager Billy Southworth of the Cards needed longdriving Buster back again. The world champions had lost outfielders Stan Musial and Litwhiler to military service. And the club seemed to lack punch. Seeking a capable outfield replacement, pilot Southworth remembered Adams. Buster had a good season with the Phillies last year, hitting .283 and playing excellently afield. He collected 17 home runs. Moreover he is 29, married, and a 4-F because of stomach ulcer’s. Philadelphia needed infield help; so a deal was made. Southworth gave the Phillies two infielders—John Antonelli and Glen Crawford —who had been

At the Polo Grounds Sunday, leftfielder Adams stepped up to the plate in the ninth inning of the nightcap and smashed a sizzler to center that drove in the winning run against the Giants. Southworth told reporters: “Buster is going okay. He should be a big help.” Adams said, “It’s certainly great to be back with the Cards.

Says Goebbels Body Is Found In Berlin Red Army Newspaper Reports Discovery Moscow, May 15—(UP)—The body of Nazi propaganda minister Paul Joseph Goebbels has been found tn a vast underground city beneath Berlin, the Red army newspaper Red Star reported today. A Berlin dispatch said that Goebbels corpse and those of his wife and children were found where they had committed suicide, before a microphone. ( The story said the underground city, 20 meters below Berlin’s surface and safe from the reach of* Allied bombs, contained factories, offices, and arsenals linked by electric railroact’. Goebbels, Herman Goering, and other prominent Nazis had luxurious apartments in the subterranean Berlin. Entrances and exits to the rooms matched any fortress. The huge walls were made from special reinforced concrete armor plate. Berlin residents said Goebbels and Goering had built their shelters there many years before the war. The underground city stretched beneath ail the streets, boulavards, and alleys converging on the Wilhelmstrasse. In a house at No. 63 Charlottanstrosse, a Soviet correspondent rummaging in the debris found a narrow passageway Gielow the surface of the ruins. It led to an enormous underground structure with massive doors and electric installations. The luxurious furniture, clothes and linen littering the floors of the rooms indicated an influential family had lived there. From one such dwelling a narrow corridor led to a steel door, and behind that was a hand gre-
